Granny Square Pattern made with HDC Stitch

A Granny Square pattern for the simplest pupluar square of quadrangle art. Unusually, I use the half double crochet stitch for it.

The most common format in the world of crocheters. The Granny Square. So many great variations to keep the pretty squares to individual pieces. Almost like snowflakes, in which none looks like the other. Well, okay… perhaps not quite so many varieties, but still extraordinary. 😉

Easy made crocheting square!

Easy Granny Square pattern in a modified form. Get big differences with small changes.

I’ll show you in this post, how to crochet this easy and slightly different variation of Granny Squares. Of course, the color choice is entirely up to you and if you want to mix two or more colors. A color change can be made very easy after each round.

What I mean by a slightly different form you will see in the following two pictures. On the left the classic Granny Square and on the right my modified variation.

Most pattern for Granny Squares work with double crochet stitch, but I thought to myself (since I prefer HDC stitch to DC stitch): ‚Nope.‘ HDC must sometimes be in the spotlight. 😀
